Pocket God Episode 46 Released, Goes Viral. Literally.

SAN FRANCISCO - Sept. 26, 2012 - Attention all
passengers headed for Apocalypse Island, an urgent travel advisory
has been issued. Due to a deadly plague of biblical proportions
running its course through all of Pygmy-kind (released into the
wild today by Bolt Creative in
Pocket God Episode 46: Germs of Endearment), we strongly
urge you to be considerate and cover your mouth while passing away
into the afterlife in order to prevent further spreading of this
malicious ailment. Also of grave importance, please stay away from
the new—and aptly named—Plague Room, as the water
contained in the fountain within this chamber is infected with the
virulent disease.

Please keep in mind that this daunting affliction is not limited
to just Pygmies; all forms of life on every island, including
gigantic apes, poo-slinging monkeys, hungry T-Rexes, and sharks
with laser beams, run the risk of contracting this perilous malady.
Even non-organic, inanimate objects can be contaminated, so
exercise caution when using an outhouse, borrowing fishing poles,
playing the bongos, and more.

Alternatively, if you would like to live just a little bit
longer, you may visit our other new addition to Apocolypse
Island—the Purification Room—a chamber containing a
fountain filled with non-alcoholic hand sanitizer. This concoction
of disease fighting liquid will not only help stave the spread of
infection, but it also won’t dry out your skin. Because
really, who wants flaky hands when you’re dying.

Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice death.

-Department of Epidemic Advisory Distribution (D.E.A.D.)

P.S. A wickedly cute Monster Skin Pack, created by artist Aaron
Blecha, is now available for in-app purchase at $0.99. Though the
Monster Skin Pack won’t save your Pygmies from the blight,
they’ll look pretty darn cool.
